Manchester City travel to Stamford Bridge to take on Chelsea on Sunday, in the final match of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 12.

Chelsea return to action after Monday’s unforgettable 4-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur, while the champions put three past Young Boys without reply in midweek.

Kick-off is at 4.30pm GMT.

Pep Guardiola makes five changes from his UEFA Champions League starting XI.

Manuel Akanji, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez and Jeremy Doku come into the team, with John Stones, Rico Lewis, Mateo Kovacic, Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish dropping out.

Nathan Ake is not in the matchday squad, however.

As for Chelsea, they make one alteration, with Marc Cucurella replacing Levi Colwill, who misses out with a slight shoulder problem. Armando Broja is back on the bench after returning from injury, meanwhile.

GAMEWEEK 12 LINE-UPS

Chelsea XI: Sanchez, James, Disasi, Thiago Silva, Cucurella, Caicedo, Enzo, Palmer, Gallagher, Sterling, Jackson

Subs: Petrovic, Gusto, Maatsen, Badiashile, Ugochukwu, Mudryk, Madueke, Broja, Matos

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Dias, Akanji, Gvardiol, Rodri, Bernardo, Foden, Alvarez, Doku, Haaland

Subs: Carson, Ortega, Lewis, Bobb, Nunes, Grealish, Kovacic, Phillips

  Captained Salah. Unfortunately everyone else in ML captained Haaland. Need 2 captains.
  
  On plus side, last night's 6 from 4 is now 78 from 11. Only downside today is benching Tsimi.

Wonder if Nkunku takes Palmers spot immediately when he's back or if Poch will try and force both players on the pitch... one out of fav position.

  Palmer played somewhat LW the time up untill Mudryk came on.
  
  Will probably be somewhing like that when Nkunku is fit and ready to go.
  
  But no chance Palmer gets more than an odd benching. Such a great player. Joy to watch.

Is Palmer gonna be more than a pen merchant. Chelsea won’t keep getting penalties at this rate so do you rate his game outside of them?

I know he’s cheap but with my team I would have to play him week in week out and for example I wouldn’t have purchase Jorginho while at Chelsea.

  well with players like Sterling dancing through the box, pens are quite likely tbh. They clearly play for pens, as in, take people on in the box

  Have watched him the past few GWs and he has had plenty of chances inside the box to score in open play.
  
  But what is not to like about Palmer? Pen taking Wing/offensive mid/false 9 for a team beginning to string a couple of good performances together.

I’d have bought Palmer weeks ago if you’d told me that there’s a new rule that Chelsea get a pen every single week.
I must have missed the memo
